The Philippine representatives were the best students selected from among hundreds of students at the Brazil Academy for Music and Arts of Ayala Alabang in Metro Manila.

Kristine Brazil Espinoza, Music Director of the Brazil Academy, shared to Good News Pilipinas how the school’s professional music teachers and performers trained the winning students.

“The winning students have been training for years. If we see such talent and perseverance by the students, we make sure to teach them really well so they can be good individuals. Music not only teaches music… It teaches concentration, focus, determination, and many more,” shared Espinoza about their winning formula.
